I like this movie more than the trilogy. It has to be said that Linklater is too good at capturing the bright spots in the ordinary life. like the final dialogue of the movie
"You know, how everyone's always saying "Seize the moment" ?
I don't know, I'm kinda thinking it's the other way around. You know, the moment seize us.
Yeah, Yeah, I know, it's constant, the moment, it's just, it's like it's just, it's like it's always right now" Our life is made up of these moments, it's not that we capture the moment, it's the moments that make us life.
And the conversation Mason had with his father before he left, he asked his father
"So, what's the point?"
"Of what?"
"I don't know, any of this, Everthing"
"Everthing? What's the point? I mean I sure as shit don't know. Neither does anybody else, okay?"
"We're all just winging it, you know?"
Living in the moment
